Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy", is a common neurological syndrome in children with complex causes and recurrent attacks. It is a convulsive seizure caused by paroxysmal, temporary brain dysfunction. The causes are divided into primary and secondary. The clinical manifestations are recurrent muscle twitches, transient abnormalities in consciousness, sensation, and emotion. It is mainly caused by the incomplete development of the child's nervous system, which leads to excessive abnormal discharges of the cerebral cortex due to stimulation. During a convulsion, most children are unconscious, their eyes are closed or half open, their eyeballs are rolled up, their teeth are clenched, the corners of their mouths twitch, their heads are tilted back, their limbs are repeatedly flexed and extended, their lips are blue, and their bodies are rigid. The convulsion lasts from a dozen seconds to several minutes. Epilepsy is a chronic disease. The causes of epilepsy in children are diverse and the clinical manifestations vary. The first thing to do is to find out the cause and determine the diagnosis. By choosing appropriate treatment and taking medication on time and in the prescribed dosage according to the doctor's instructions, the condition of most children can be controlled or cured.
